“If we are really fighting a war on terrorism, why don’t we take care of these domestic terrorists in our back yard?”

Because we have had two Presidents in a row who want to give them amnesty and won’t deport them. Laws apply only to little people.

I had an interesting thing happen with Facebook a week or so ago. I received a memo from a Facebook member comparable to one of those Nigerian emails that go around. My reply: 'Drop Dead'.

A couple later, I receive a reply: "Why should I drop dead". Naturally, I receive a notice of this in my private email account. What's interesting about this is, the name associated with the reply is different ("Slo Lky sent you a message on Facebook...") than the name in the original post. Heh.

I turn the entire thing in for abuse, asking if Facebook was now becoming a channel for Nigerian email scams.
